In todays lecture we learnt about Granular synthesis, granular synthesis is when a synthesiser or program chops audio into tiny grains and manipulates it into something new. Here are some granular experiments which I will include in my final piece, these synthy compositions are meant to represent the physical mundane of living in the city.
I like Granular synthesis as on Pigments 2 by Arturia that I used to do it, it really had a feel of something ‘other’ and outside the world of classic modular synthesis or the age-old of art of flicking through presets on a shiny retro looking VST or piece of hardware. Also it allows me to continue my sample centric production style but broaden that way of thinking into ‘synth-world’.
